Are you concerned about developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or other repetitive work injuries. Are your currently painful performing work activity? It takes about 7 weeks to develop a new habit. Start today and by March, you will be well on your way to a healthier and less painful year. Pick one or two areas you would like to work on - stretching throughout your work day, adding 15-20 minutes of walking to your exercise program, typing less forcefully, improving sitting posture, or performing a new stress management technique. When this new habit becomes comfortable, choose another area to work on. Small changes can add up to significant changes in improving your health. Check out the ergonomic section or the tips section of
www.handhealthresources.com for habit-forming ideas. Be sure to post your ideas, inspirations and successes!
Happy New Year! Marji
